A Poem For George Bush (Free verse) by Edna Sweetlove

Dedicated to Mr G.W.Bush c/o The White House Washington DC USA A few words to thank you for invading our land: Thank you for getting rid of that Saddam Hussein (So sad you found none of the weapons you sold him) Thank you for killing off thousands of our women And maiming thousand upon countless thousand more With your illegal chemical weapons and bombs. We loved our recent democratic elections Even more than the corrupt interim regime Set up to supervise all the devastation Caused by your nice marauding psychopathic troops. And we know it's nothing at all to do with oil Or diverting attention from domestic problems. Now that summer is a coming in we're so pleased That the electric supplies are working so well So we can enjoy nice luke-warm coca cola As we swelter underneath the warm desert sun. But we are so pleased the US army bases Have their air conditioning in tip-top order. So eagerly are we all now looking forward To the thrilling civil war due to start quite soon; You see, it will be an exciting four-way fight: Sunnis vs. Shias vs. Kurds vs. the invaders. Except you'll find some excuse to pull out Just in time before the body count gets too high. We also want to thank your British lapdog, Blair, And do console him that he will be out on his neck, Reputation ruined, thanks to his warlike stance. But every cloud has its silver lining, so reflect: America stands loathed worldwide, even by its friends, As your hegemony draws to its inevitable end. From Al-i-Baba (On behalf of the bloodstained Iraqi people)

Brain-washed? I'm the one who's playing the contrarian here, not you. Ask any dullard on the street what they think about Iraq and they'll say "Blah blah WMD blah blah OIL blah blah HALIBURTON blah blah CIVIL WAR blah blah BUSH'S POODLE". I'm not saying everything is perfect in Iraq. I'm not saying people who disagree with regime change are stupid. I'm saying you're stupid. You aren't thinking for yourself. Your arguments are completely the first thing you hear from a concerned mother on Richard and Judy. They're utterly skin deep, utterly short-sighted, and utterly ignorant of the contradictions on BOTH sides of the fence.

Consider Iraq as it was before the invasion. Plot its future in a world where nobody intervenes. Is it a bloodless path? Is it a path that leads closer to a long term solution to the problem? Is it a path that leads nowhere? When Saddam dies, who fills the vacuum? A democratic, federal government? A Zarqawi clone? Saddam's sons? Mother Teresa II? Bill Cosby? The coalition invades, innocent people die. The coalition ignores Iraq, innocent people die. What would you do?
